male chauvinists
Dismissive toward women
Male chauvinists are men who believe in male superiority and treat women as inferior.
The term emerged in the women's liberation movement of the 1960s and 70s, often in the fuller form male chauvinist pig.
A male chauvinist might dismiss women's opinions, expect them to handle domestic duties, or assume men are naturally better suited for leadership.
